Our heads are in the Clouds

Literally. In more ways than one. Sun free living can make a person or an animal sad.

But I have an antidote!

Seed catalogues 🤭

Let yourself plan. I am going to bet on an early spring and late frosts. It is time to get out all my saved seeds. And pour over the catalogues for greens. Lots and lots of greens. And pour optimism into our future.

There is not even any sun in the forecast until Sunday – days and days of us in deep fog – our heads literally in the clouds.

I had to put a grow light into the glasshouse a while back but at least all the snow has melted off the glass roof. And the seeds don’t need light until they germinate. We have time!

There are sprouts growing in the shower for FreeBee who is also suffering from Sunless Sadness.

I have begun shutting the door between FreeBee and Jude while FreeBee eats. FreeBee is such a slow eater and a bit fussy. And Jude is the clean-up guy. So I separate them. FreeBee still looks sad though.

Today I am going to begin calling them out into the field. It is warm enough. I think FreeBee prefers to be outside.

Watch out for tonight’s TKG TAKE TEN. Watch the cows from yesterday and sign up while you are there so you get this evenings video delivered straight to your inbox. Because it is SO GOOD.

Only one video is chosen for TKG TAKE TEN: Here is one from the cutting room floor. Tima on the ice that hopefully has all melted by this morning!

It is nice to lean on the gate and just watch the animals. God knows we need a few minutes of calm amidst the horror that is our news.

I looked at the satellite view of our rain this morning and wondered where you are!

Are you getting this rain too?

We are 100 miles South of Chicago. Right in the thick of it.

Good morning.

Have a great day! See you this evening at Take Ten. If you have not already read it here is the latest Sustainable Sunday Letter. There will always be a story, a sustainable living tip AND a recipe. The Letter has found its rhythm!

SHARE with a friend. Sharing what works for us is a sure fire way to support each other. Someone needs you to reach out today.

Have a good one.

Take Care and Talk Soon.
